I spoke with some folks from the States Attorney office today.  The incident has not yet been received by them but depending upon their review of the incident and follow-up investigation, there could well be charges filed.  The citation issued is based on the on scene observation of the officer and any additional charges would be filed by the States Attorney following staff investigation and/or submission to the Grand Jury.  They are very aware of the significance of the event and the concern that exists in the community.

This could happen to any of us who ride and share our public roadways.  I'm sure we'll all be following this closely.
